This screen allows you to set the default authentication timeout settings for the selected type of 
user account. These default authentication timeout settings also control the settings for any 
existing user accounts that are set to use the default settings. You can still manually configure any 
user account’s authentication timeout settings.

To access this screen, go to the Configuration > Object > User > Setting screen, select one of 
the Default Authentication Timeout Settings entry and click the Edit icon.

Reauthentication Time

This is the default reauthentication time in minutes for each type of user 
account. It defines the number of minutes the user can be logged into the 
NWA/WAC in one session before having to log in again. Unlike Lease Time, the 
user has no opportunity to renew the session without logging out.

Limit the number of 

simultaneous logons for 

administration account

Select this check box if you want to set a limit on the number of simultaneous

unsuccessfully (for example, wrong password) before the IP address is locked 
out for a specified amount of time.

This field is effective when Enable logon retry limit is checked. Type the 
maximum number of times each user can login unsuccessfully before the IP 
address is locked out for the specified lockout period. The number must be 
between 1 and 99.

Lockout period

This field is effective when Enable logon retry limit is checked. Type the 
number of minutes the user must wait to try to login again, if logon retry limit 
is enabled and the maximum retry count is reached. This number must be 
between 1 and 65,535 (about 45.5 days).
